Military Relations Committee
Regular Meetings
The Military Relations Committee holds monthly lunch meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at different venues. All Chamber members, Active or Retired military and their spouses are welcome to attend.
For our luncheons, the social time is before lunch and the buffet or meal begins at 11:30 am with the program following at noon.
Active duty military and their spouses are our guests for the event. Chamber members and other guests pay $15.
RSVPs are due to Bevin Landrum by the Monday before each breakfast.
Social Networking
If you are on Facebook, considering joining the Military Relations Committee fan page. We update almost daily to help keep military families in the know about all that is happening in The Little Apple. Our best photo galleries are located here, too.
Even better, invite your friends to "like" our page so they can know about our events and programs, too.
We want to be friends with you!

Mission
Our mission is to plan, coordinate, and execute programming and activities that will strengthen the relationship between Manhattan and Fort Riley and bring about a heightened awareness of one community's importance to the other.
Our commitment is to support soldiers and their families during both deployment hardships and homecoming joy. In so doing, we hope to show active and retired military that the Greater Fort Riley Community is not just another assignment, but a place to call home.
